Asylum application: Sandesh needs $450 before the deadline
An asylum application deadline is approaching and Sandesh cannot afford the lawyer.
🇮🇳 India239 views
I'm facing an asylum application. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $450. I have been told by three legal-aid offices that their waiting list is longer than my deadline.
I have all of my paperwork ready, and my caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that my case is valid.
If I miss the deadline I could lose my right to stay with my family and my job. My children were born here and this is the only home they know.
I'll share any non-sensitive updates as the case moves along.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $450 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $65
• Attorney retainer: $320
• Certified translations and document copies: $65
Thanks for being kind about this.
